The facility was designed to provide the most complete and comprehensive learning environment for students. It includes a Smart Classroom, Multi-Station Laboratory, Photography Room and Experiment Room.

Students also will gain knowledge and experience from various offsite training locations to include the University of Tennessee’s outdoor forensic anthropology research facility also known as “the body farm.”

The University of Tennessee (UT) Law Enforcement Innovation Center (LEIC) is an agency of the UT Institute for Public Service (IPS). IPS fulfills UT’s land grant mission to provide public service outreach to the citizens of Tennessee.

In 2001, LEIC created the National Forensic Academy™ (NFA™) to train crime scene investigators. Serving law enforcement agencies throughout the nation, the NFA offers a 10-week academy in Oak Ridge and offers a number of 40-hour courses on crime scene and forensic topics nationwide.

The NFA receives funding from the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). Upon completion of NFA training, law enforcement personnel are better prepared to handle crime scenes. Their affiliations with NFA alumni, instructors and subject matter experts serve as resources on a regular basis.
